The Best Grilled Chicken Recipe I've Ever Made! Fire Grilled Chicken

chicken breasts

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: bone-in chicken pieces

Thighs are juicier and more flavorful, while bone-in pieces are often less expensive.

Prepare the grill by setting it up for direct fire cooking.

Spray the grill grates with oil for easier cleaning later.

Hang the chicken legs down on the grill using hooks, positioning them for even cooking.

Apply a heavy coating of catman's Grill ranero rub on the chicken, making sure to get under the wings and into the armpits.

Let the chicken sit for about 5 minutes to allow the salt in the rub to draw out moisture and help the seasoning stick.

Check the chicken's internal temperature using a Chef temp thermometer, ensuring it reaches 165°F.

Hang the chicken on the grill and close the lid, cooking for 40 to 60 minutes.

After about 55 minutes, check the internal temperature again to ensure it reaches 152°F.

Remove the chicken from the grill and place it on a rack to allow air circulation and prevent steaming.

Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
